So far the only reason I’ve cried this rotation was over the stress of having two PAs who work here and are leaving tell me again and again that this is a sink or swim job and do everything they can to push me to other things.
If my license expires because your stupid website to renew doesn’t work and you have no paper renewal option and none of your “support” employees answer my numerous voicemails and emails, whose fault is it?
I wonder if your state board and mine are best friends as I’ve been trying for over 2 weeks to check in on the status of my completed application with no word back and no phone number that will actually call through.
My mother passed away and now the four year old that she took care of and watched so often that the four year old called her “Grandma” and her actual grandmother got labeled “Nana” whom I love and see once every couple of weeks well she asked me if I’m sad about my mother every time she sees me and while I hold it together until I get home well I’m 26 and lost my mother suddenly to an aortic dissection and damn it I wasn’t ready for that there was no warning and I was on fucking rotations and I can’t see this child without her causing me to cry at home for hours and what do I do. The baby’s mother told her my mom, Nana, was dead and the baby parrots those words at me and I swear it makes me want to do violent things to the stupid mother and I just don’t know how to handle this
i was gonna make a joke about how the massachusetts candle probably smells like a drug deal in the dunkin donuts parking lot but then i checked and it legitimately smells like dunkin coffee i’m done
Make up is a thing I hate and never wear, or at least I haven’t for about the last 2 years. I used to put it on before heading to the ER for a grueling 12 hour shift so I could wash it off afterwards and wash away the day. I was a shield. Now that I’m going back to work, I feel like it’s time to break my strike and get some professional quality stuff for my day to day. Any recommendations?
Thanks for the help guys. :) I got totally swindled at Sephora but they also taught me how to apply BB cream and exactly what shade I am so that’s a win. Plus my man told me I didn’t look like a hoe today (I learned how to apply makeup in high school theater) after I went home and took the face they gave me off and tried it myself. So it’s a win all around.

Using centripetal force to prevent a $4 billion healthcare cost
1. Doctor finds anecdotal evidence that people are passing kidney stones after riding on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World
2. Doctor makes 3-D model of kidney, complete with stones and urine (his own), takes it on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 60 times
3. “The stones passed 63.89 percent of the time while the kidneys were in the back of the car. When they were in the front, the passage rate was only 16.67 percent. That’s based on only 60 rides on a single coaster, and Wartinger guards his excitement in the journal article: ‘Preliminary study findings support the anecdotal evidence that a ride on a moderate-intensity roller coaster could benefit some patients with small kidney stones.’”
4. “Some rides are going to be more advantageous for some patients than other rides. So I wouldn’t say that the only ride that helps you pass stones is Big Thunder Mountain. That’s grossly inaccurate.”
5. “His advice for now: If you know you have a stone that’s smaller than five millimeters, riding a series of roller coasters could help you pass that stone before it gets to an obstructive size and either causes debilitating colic or requires a $10,000 procedure to try and break it up. And even once a stone is broken up using shock waves, tiny fragments and “dust” remain that need to be passed. The coaster could help with that, too.”
“In all, we used 174 kidney stones of varying shapes, sizes and weights to see if each model worked on the same ride and on two other roller coasters,” Wartinger said. “Big Thunder Mountain was the only one that worked. We tried Space Mountain and Aerosmith’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and both failed.”Wartinger went on to explain that these other rides are too fast and too violent with a G-force that pins the stone into the kidney and doesn’t allow it to pass.“The ideal coaster is rough and quick with some twists and turns, but no upside down or inverted movements,” he said.
